The Subtle Beauty of The Legend of Hell House

Having recently re-watched John Hough's classic, The Legend of Hell House, I was struck by what a gorgeous film it really is. Putting the somewhat convoluted plot aside, the movie is filled with such subtle beauty and such outrageous (albeit brief) sexual shenanigans, that I found myself rewinding just to watch certain scenes over again. Here are few captures , and if you have not seen this movie from 1973, get on over to Netflix and do so now!

About This Blog

I love horror films, been watching them all of my life.
As a gay man, I've come to note the more homo-erotic subtext in many of these films. From the obvious in films like, Interview With the Vampire, to the more subtle in movies like, Scream.
So, what I intend to do with this blog, is, from time to time, highlight a movie that is both scary as well as sensual,(or just plain campy) provided those elements are borne of gay or lesbian sensibilities.
